[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9317227, member: 6796661"] My 2024 Enworld-specific geek confession is that my EN World personality is quite a bit different than my IRL personality when it comes to the hobby. IRL I'm exceptionally laid back and loose in my gaming. I'm sure that I would have no issues playing in games run by those I've had lengthy debates with in these threads. But I love engaging in drawn out geeky discussions that start with "hey, new 5e art, what do you think" and lead to hundreds of posts that meander through the history of fantasy art; when spectacles were first invented; whether the depiction of magic in a piece of art hews to rules as written; and what aging, fashion, and body modifications would look like in a medium-to-high fantasy world. And it isn't a proper EN World discussion until there are descriptivism vs prescriptivism grammar debates, citations to the OED, and discussions of a word's etymology. Would be nice if some folks wouldn't take this all so seriously, however. And on my end, I need to be cognizant that my "humourous" takes and ribbing can easily cross the line into goading and trolling. [/QUOTE]
